LETTERS AND NOTICES. ST. HUGH'S HALL, OXFORD. DEAR OLD STUDENTS, I must begin my letter with

the news of how our dear Queen's death was received in Oxford last term. Big Tom, only tolled for the death of the Sovereign or the Dean, announced the sad fact, and as we listened to the tolling and the muffled peals of Magdalen, we realized dimly what the passing away of the Great Queen meant to us and to her whole Empire, and that a new period of history was about to open with the accession of a King. These lines of the great modern poet, Walt Whitman, read by one of our number a few days later, seemed singularly appropriate : " The sobbing of the bells, the sudden death-news everywhere, The slumberers rouse, the rapport of the People.

(Full well they know that message in the darkness, Full well return, respond within their breasts, their brains, the sad reverberations), The passionate toll and clang, city to city, joining, sounding, passing, Those heartbeats of a nation in the night."

On the Friday all lectures and coachings were given up, and everyone in Oxford betook themselves to hear the Proclamation which was read by the Town Clerk at the site of the four ancient gates of the town.

The most impressive was that which took place opposite St. Mary's Church, where the Vice-Chancellor, Proctors, Doctors, and members of the University, having first assembled in the Divinity Schools, grouped themselves on the platform erected outside the Church. The University volunteers lined the road on either side to keep back the ever-increasing crowds. The Mayor and Corporation, preceded by a Herald on horseback, marched from Carfax to St. Mary's, and the proclamation was solemnly read to the Vice-Chancellor, but it was difficult to catch the words owing to the noise and talking of the crowd, and we only knew that it was over by seeing a roll of parchment handed to the Vice-Chancellor and by the singing of " God Save the King," the crowd surging forward and the helmets of the troops being flourished aloft.

The chief Memorial Services were held in the Cathedral and at St. Mary's. Several of us were at the Cathedral by 10 a.m., though the service did not begin till 12, and many had to be turned away afterwards for want of room. Every part of the Cathedral was packed with a dense black mass of people, the sombre hues being only relieved by the white surplices of the men and the gorgeous robes of the Corporation. The Dean preached a most moving

sermon, and the whole service was one never to be forgotten by those who heard it.

Miss Moberly was the only one of us who went to see that wonderful sight in London, but many declared that the guns from the battle-ships at Portsmouth could be distinctly heard in Oxford.

All public amusements, classical concerts, and the O.U.D.S. were necessarily postponed on account of the Queen's death, and therefore I cannot recall anything of more interest in the Hilary Term except that Mrs. Johnson and the Home Students entertained Mrs. Humphry Ward one afternoon, when she gave an interesting lecture on " The Peasant Novel," and on the day before some of us went to hear her at Balliolf'when she told us about an experiment of her own, " Day Schools for Invalid Children in London."

Our Hockey Matches were not numerous, as the Captain and several members of the 1st XI. fell victims to influenza, and we had to postpone most of them. The convalescents setting out for drives to Boar's Hill, accompanied by one sound member of the Hall to act as nurse, created great amusement.

Term ended with all the horrors of Schools for the classical people, and here we take the opportunity of heartily congratulating H. Price on her Third in Hon. Mods.

The Clara Evelyn Mordan Scholarship has not been awarded this year, but the Hall Scholarship has been gained by L. Rogers from the Haberdashers' School, Acton, who will read Science.

In the Vacation, the four people taking the English School this Term, E. Hunt, E. Lidbetter, H. Rickards, and I. Woodhouse, went on a most successful reading-party to Nettlebed, near Henley, a charminks place on the highest point of the Chilterns surrounded by pine and beech woods. From here, I. Woodhouse went on the Public Schoolmasters' tour to Greece. She with difficulty appeased the envy of her classical friends by fragments of pottery picked up at Mycenx.

The deaths of Dr. Bright during the Vacation and of the Bishop of Oxford this term have robbed us of two great scholars, and the translation of Dr. Paget from the Deanery to the Bishopric caused intense interest everywhere, and eager questioning as to who the new Dean might be. There were many wild rumours about, but Mr. Strong has now been elected. He will be well-known to many of you, as he has given addresses to the Society of the Annunciation. He has also been Censor for some time, and is very popular amongst the House men.

A rumour was spread that the last two o'clock

University sermon was to be preached some weeks ago, and three energetic members of the Hall trudged to St. Mary's after a hasty lunch to hear Dr. Burge, the new Headmaster of Winchester, on the occasion.

We find, however, that these sermons are not to be abolished until next term.

To our great joy the Bishop of London preached the University sermon on Commemoration Sunday, and it was strange to see the Undergraduates' gallery filled with ladies.

By an unfortunate mistake the Hall heard nothing of the usual Oxford House meeting until too late, but nearly all went to the Calcutta Mission meeting at Trinity, when the Dean and Mr. Browne gave stirring addresses.

On the 24.th May the return of thje University troops from the front caused great excitement. They arrived at the station about 12.3o and received a boisterous welcome from their fellow undergraduates, frantic attempts being made to burst through the carefully guarded gates of the station to greet them.

The men were chaired from the station to the Cathedral, whence, after the service, they proceeded to the Town Hall, where they were sumptuously feasted and entertained.

The public lectures as usual in the Summer term have been numerous and on varied subjects. Several of us have enjoyed the Slade Professor's course on the Lombardy artists, Butinone, Bromarti, Luini, and Ferrari, with lime-light illustrations, and we are all hoping that Mr. Wooldridge will be re-elected to complete this interesting course.

The new Professor of Poetry, Mr. Bradley, of Glasgow University, gave .11-iis inaugural lecture in the Sheldonian, on June 5th, in place of the usual Romanes lecture, postponed owing to the illness of Lord Acton. The subject was " Poetry for Poetry's Sake." Many of Mr. Bradley's old colleagues at Balliol were assembled to welcome him, and the Theatre was crowded. The English School are looking forward with pleasure and interest to the course of lectures he has promised to give in the ensuing year.

This year, owing to the Queen's death, there has has been no Commemoration, and Eights Week was unusually gay in consequence. There were several College Concerts, the Conversazione of the Junior Scientific Club, the Trinity Fête, and the O.U.D.S. postponed from last term, being in Eights Week, was a tremendous success. £zoo in all was cleared for the benefit of the Society. The play chosen was " Much Ado About Nothing," Benedict being admirably represented by H. M. Tennent, of Wadham, and Beatrice being played by Janet Alexander.

New College has regained its position at the head of the river ; and University, having bumped Magdalen, takes the second placeI saw a curious story in the Magazine concerning the relations of Exeter and Brasenose which you might be interested to hear. You remember that splendid horse-chestnut tree which grows in the corner of Exeter Garden nearest Brasenose—Bishop Heber's chestnut ? It seems there was a tradition at Exeter that when this tree actually touched Brasenose, Exeter would bump her neighbour's boat in the Eights. Bishop Heber's chestnut has certainly come in contact with Brasenose wall, and although the two boats were about ten places apart at the first day's start, they steadily approached one another, one gaining, the other losing every night, till on the last day the bump took place.

A good deal of excitement was aroused in University circles last term by what is spoken of as the " Parks Question." It appears that the science

men have been agitating for a house in the Parks for the Professor of Astronomy, so as to be near the Observatory, and it was also proposed, I believe, to make a carriage road, to enable science professors to drive with fitting dignity " to their lectures ! Not unnaturally there was a very strong, I might almost say violent, opposition to both proposals, and perhaps you will not be sorry to hear that the Parks are to be left intact ! The house proposal, however, was only lost by one vote.

Joachim came down to the last classical concert.

Many of us were fortunate enough to go, and thoroughly appreciated his magnificent playing.

Last week a benefit concert was given, to which Mrs. Kendal and Miss Maude Valerie White kindly gave their services.

The Pastoral Plays took place in Worcester Gardens the last two nights of term. The grounds were beautifully illuminated, and the weather luckily proved favourable. "Two Gentlemen of Verona" and " The Merry Wives of Windsor " were performed

by Ben Greet's Company, the coloured lime-light effects on the scenery being most artistic.

Now, coming to S. Hugh's, I must first tell you that everyone is much struck with the wonderfully improved appearance of the Hall since the rooms in the new wing have been papered and the recesses filled with shelves. The well-known settee, which formerly stood in the corner of the library, has now been moved to the drawing-room, and its place is taken by two new bookcases.

We have been unlucky in our tennis matches, although the Hall showed itself most enthusiastic at the beginning of term, when an American Tournament was played, in which almost everyone took part. A week later the prizes, purchased with the money raised by entrance subscriptions, were distributed, the winners of the first prize being M. Wyld and and H. Woodman, the booby prizes also being received with acclamation.

Our triennial party took place on the 8th June.

Miss Margaret Barter and F. Etlinger were kind enough to come and sing. All the rooms looked their best, and as it was the Summer term we were able to obtain plenty of flowers with which to decorate the corridors, library, and drawing-room, the staircase being illuminated by Chinese lanterns. The programme consisted of alternate songs and dances.

Everything passed off without a hitch, and all declared that it had been a complete success.

The end of the Summer term, as usual, means to a good many of us the close of our Oxford life, and this term we are sorry to say that we are also losing Miss Wylie, our Vice-Principal, who is leaving us to go to her home in Russia. Our best and warmest wishes go with her.

Twelve of us celebrated our departure by a picnic given by Miss Wylie on the Upper River in the last week of term. It was pouring with rain most of the time but none the less the excursion was most enjoyable.

We have had visits from Mrs. Simon, W. Mammatt, D. Hodge, D. Grant, C. Hedley, C. Jourdain, F. Etlinger, B. Sparks, E. Blamire-Browne, C. Barter, H. Stark, I. de Castro, and E. May. A good many of these were able to watch the match between Oxford and Cambridge on the University Tennis Ground, which resulted in a victory for Oxford. We were very sorry that this match coincided with the day we had fixed for our own tennis-match between Past and Present Students, so the latter had to be given up. We could not have our cake and eat it !

In our last letter we invited you to come and see our new wall-papers. This time we can hold out a still greater attraction—a new house ! It is really

true that next term a part of S. Hugh's will be. established in the house that is now Mr. JervisSmith's, opposite the Hall. Miss Wardale, you will all be glad to hear, is going to live there, and our friend and benefactress, Miss Mordan, has made us a present of some pictures, which will help to furnish the new drawing room. The house, I believe, affords room for ten or eleven new students.

And so we bid you heartily farewell.

WINIFRED E. BUXTON, Senior Student.

An informal but very successful meeting of the Club was held on January 16, at 7, Upper Cheyne Row, by kind permission of Mrs. Watson. The following members were present : Mrs. Simon, the Misses Grant, J. Watson, R. E. Hamilton, Malone, Hudson, Grattan, Turner, Sparks, B. Langston, M. Langston, Burnett, and Woodhouse. As far as we can ascertain, pleasure, more than business, was the order of the day, and no minutes are forthcoming of what all those present seem to agree was a most satisfactory meetin g.

The last Club meeting took place on Saturday, June 29th, at 48, St. Mary Abbots Terrace, Kensington. To those of us who do not know London well, it proved a useful lesson in geography to find the exact place, and when found we received a very kindly welcome from our hostess, Mrs. Payan Dawnay, better known to S. Hugh's Hall as Lily Townsend.

Despairing of finding any date at which members in London and out of London, in schools and not in schools, can arrange to meet, this year the convenience of Londoners was especially consulted.

E. Spooner, E. Williams, C. Hedley, I. Woodhouse, and the Secretary represented them, whilst E.Prideaux and H. Fear are much to be commended for their efforts in coming from a distance. A happy chance caused M. Birley, F. Batchelor, and M. Crick to be able to attend, the President arriving direct from Oxford.

It was unfortunate that the mover of the first resolution could not be with us to state all the. advantages that would accrue to the Club by being affiliated to the Women's Institute. It was hardly possible to judge of its advisability without a fuller knowledge of the Institute than anyone present possessed. Whilst the Club looked forward with pleasure to some day being in the position to take some such step, at present the advantage was felt of making acquaintance with individual members by being allowed to meet in the private houses that have hitherto been so kindly opened to it. The expense of the plan proposed appeared to be rather indefinite, for beyond the increased subscription asked for, there would apparently be need to pay every time for the use of the room in the Women's Institute. After some discussion the subject was postponed until such time as the real mover could be present, answer various enquiries as to details, and do the proposal justice.

The suggestion that the Secretary should be empowered to arrange for luncheon after the service at S. Paul's on Low Sunday was approved. It is hoped by this means to secure a larger gathering in the Cathedral than has so far been possible. No doubt the difficulty of coming back to a late luncheon when staying in friends' houses has been great.

The new members elected to the Committee were : E. Spooner, C. Hedley, N. Stark, and I. Woodhouse. The meeting began at 3.3o and broke up between 5 and 6 o'clock.

In the English School, I. Woodhouse has gained a First Class, H. Rickards and E. Lidbetter Seconds,

and E. Hunt a Third. In Modern Languages, F. Batchelor has a Second Class, H. Price a Third in Classical Mods., and L. Coombes a Third in Math.

Mods. There is no S. Hugh's student in for History this year, so the Class list will not indicate misfortune for us. The Mordan scholarship of L40 was not awarded this year. It will be competed for next March, with the usual Hall Scholarship of Seven students are leaving this June, but several extra newcomers are expected next October.

Miss Wylie has resigned the Vice-Principalship, and is likely to join her parents in St. Petersburg at the end of the summer. She will be in charge of the Hall during August, when it will be filled with Extensionists.

The Hall has been presented with a fire escape.

It is attached to the window at the end of the top passage. On its being placed, many inhabitants of the house had the experience of passing down inside it, the less brave people being content to look on and exhort others to try how it felt.

W. J. de L. Mitchell is now in South Africa.

She went to a school in Johannesburg about two years ago, but gave up teaching when the war broke out, and left the Transvaal like other English people.

She is now doing secretarial work at the Military Depot at Rondebosch, near Capetown, and writes that, between the war and the plague, they are having rather a bad time.

M. Birley and M. Flam steed are both in England.

The former looks forward to returning to Kimberley after Christmas.

J. Spackman has been abroad for several months in Italy and Switzerland. She returns to Harpenden, but not to Bower's Mouse.

E. Watson is in Virginia, and earlier in the year was for some time in Mexico. We hope to publish an account of her experiences in the latter place in our next number.

D. Abdy is leaving England to take part in the Central African Mission. D. Grant succeeds her at the Tunbridge Wells High School.

M. Weston has succeeded in finding a fellowworker, and is leaving Japan for a time for a much needed holiday in England. Miss Weston is now teacher of English in the Peeresses' School at Tokyo, and this gives her greater opportunities than ever for intercourse with Japanese ladies—intercourse which, as will be seen from her last report, often gives openings for direct evangelistic work. The appointment of a missionary to such a post is unusual and a matter for congratulation. Archdeacon Shaw in his latest letter writes :—" I am thankful to say that we are feeling very happy about the prospect of work just now. I have not known any time in Japan when the people were more favourably disposed towards Christianity than they are at present." We quote from the last report of the W.M.A., believing that there may be some member of the Club who would like to join M. Weston, and also to enable us to realise a little the importance of the work that one of our members is doing.

We should like to remind everyone that the subscription, by which past and present students of S. Hugh's become members of the Club and have a right to receive the two annual papers and notices of all general meetings, is r/- a year, payable to the Treasurer every October. A payment of ro/- admits to life membership.

E. May has become an M.A. of the new Birmingham University, and will receive the degree from Mr. Chamberlain, Chancellor of that University.

The M.A. hood is electric blue. We present our congratulations to her.
